What is pH? pH is the measure of the hydronium ion in a solution. The scale runs from 0-14, with the lower numbers indicating higher concentration of the hydronium ion and therefore an increase in acidity. A similar scale exists … Continue reading →

Many students are familiar with the ICE (Initial, Change, Equilbrium) Table when calculating the pH of a weak acid (or weak base) solution. The Henderson-Hasselbach equation will also enable you to calculate the pH of a weak acid (or weak … Continue reading →

What is equilibrium? Equilibrium is basically the state in which the concentrations of both the reactants and products are no longer changing. Reactants still convert to products and vice versa in an equilibrium state but they convert in a similar … Continue reading →
